PBKS’ Aussie wicketkeeper-batter, Josh Inglis, won the Player of the Match award for his 73-run knock. After winning the toss, the PBKS skipper, Shreyas Iyer, asked MI to bat first, and it was a decent start by the PBKS bowlers as MI were 87/3 in 10.5 overs. Ryan Rickelton (27 off 20) and Rohit Sharma (24 off 21) got starts but failed to convert, while Tilak Verma fell cheaply.
Ultimately, it was Suryakumar Yadav again who came up with a 57-run contribution, along with some support from down the order, courtesy of Will Jacks (17 off eight), skipper Hardik Pandya (26 off 15), and Naman Dhir (20 off 12).
MI ended up scoring 184/7 in 20 overs, and for PBKS, Arshdeep Singh, Vijaykumar Vyshak, and Marco Jansen bagged two wickets each. Harpreet Brar took one as well.
